My Priceless Jewel - Episode 15

 

"......don't do this to me please Yaa Arfaat". Said juwairiyyah coming out of her room in tears.

      "You want me to lie Juwai? Do you want me to accept the pregnancy i know nothing of?"

"Noo Yaa Arfaat, you know everything about it cause you are its father, how can you deny your fatherhood?"

     "Fatherhood??? Juwairiyyah you must be insane to think  am going to accept that pregnancy, that baby is not mine and am not going to accept what is not mine. Tell your parents the truth, am out of here!" 

      "Arfaat! Come back here, you can't leave without explaining things to me" . Alhaji Abbas commanded in a bitter tone.

"There is nothing left for me to explain to you sir, am not the father if juwai's baby. You can ask her that."

      "Juwairiyyah, tell me the truth please, kar kisa zuciyata ta buga (Please don't stop my heart). Is Arfaat really not the father to that baby carrying?". Alhaji Abbas said tears rolling down his cheeks.

    Juwairiyyah only stood there in tears, shocked at what is happening now. How could Arfaat do a thing like that when he knows he is the father to the baby? She felt her heart aching___ trying to burst because of too much sadness

. Was this the way Arfaat felt when she accused him of raping her? If thats the case, then he's really hurt!

    "Yaa Arfaat, ka taimakeni please (Help me please), say this is your baby i beg of you."

Two hot and sharp slaps landed on Juwai's face, from her dad. One of the best person she has ever had, slapping her today means that he's morethan angry.

    "Arfaat must be right then, the baby is not his. If that baby ia his arfaat wouldn't deny being its dad.he accepted it when he raped you  there is no way he'll deny that baby if its his."

"Dad...da...."

    "Shut up Juwairiyyah! Just shut up! And get out of my sight before i beat the hell out of you, you spoiled brat!. Juwairyyah kin kasheni da raina, you've killed me juwai". Alhaji Abbas said crying.

        "Its okay Alhaji, i promise you that I'll take care of the baby like i am its father. I'll show the world that Arfaat is the father of that baby. Just stop those tears Alhaji."

"How am i gonna repay you Arfaat? Thank you so very much. I appreciate the love."

    "Mama, i have some good news for you". Arfaat said smiling and sitting down beside mai kunu who was grinding crayfish.

Seeing that she didn't even care to notice about hia presence made arfaat sad. His mom is surely angry with him, all because of Juwairiyyah! That bitch!

        "Am going to be a father."

"What did i hear you say dan mama? You are going to be a father? Does that mean I'll soon be a mother?"

"Yes mama, that's it". Arfaat said happily seeing how happy his mom is.

    Tears of happiness started rolling from mai kunu's eyes

     "Allah nagode ma daka nuna mun wannan ranar (Thank you Lord for showing me this day), Arfaat you see why i was angry when you divorced your wife. That baby is going to grow up without both parent." 

     "That's Allah's will mama, stop crying please."

"Dan mama, please ku mayar da aurenku (You two should get married again, i don't want that baby to grow up without both of its parents".

. Mai kunu said in tears.

      "Ki mana addu'a(Pray for us) mama, may God choose what's best for us all."

   "Juwai maman baby, you look more cute and sweet this days". Arfaat said smiling.

        "Why did you do it? Why did you do it Arfaat? Tell me please."

"Revenge Juwairiyyah, you think I'll ever forget what you did to me? Noo! Not at all!"

       "I thought after taking away my pride as a woman everything will be settled?" 

"No Juwai, this is just the beginning". Arfaat said wickedly.

     What hurt juwairiyyah the most is that she is madly in love with Arfaat now, especially after knowing he is the romantic type. That kills juwairiyyah the most. She wants her husband back, her world, her mr.right. Yes she's in love with arfaat and she'll try everything possible to see that she gets him back and teach him how to love her. That's when she'll pay him back before forgetting everything.

      "Yaa Arfaat, what if the baby looks exactly like you?". Juwairiyyah asked.

   "Then you confess what you did to me and I'll confess too. I missed you juwai, thou we don't love each other and we keep hurting each other. I still miss those moments we shared together. Do you feel thesame?"
